YOu deserve up to $10. Listening to EEi and Dale made it seem like a torn ACL with his reporting, almost caused me to get into an accident. Hopefully we can rest Tatum until October. Praying for Kemba and Jaylen to come through unscathed when FIBA is over.

I thought Barnes played pretty well, except where he got abused for fouls on back-to-back possessions, thankfully non-shooting, which took him from 2 PFs to 4 PFs in a span of 10 seconds. He's certainly doing more than I'd expect Kyle Kuzma to do.

I actually think that a version of this gameplan could work well against Philly’s roster, and is likely what people will try. Play your best lineups even if they’re smaller, and then help really, really aggressively away from the 3 point line.

Budenholzer already has solved a lot of this in terms of activating Giannis, but that’s because the Bucks have shooting that Philly doesn’t.

With a young roster that includes Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, there are plenty of American players to keep an eye on. But as the first round of group play winds down, the player seizing the attention of viewers is Serbia and Sacramento Kings wing Bogdan Bogdanovic.

I’m a big fan of this pre-preseason from a Celtics team development perspective. Having Smart, JB, JT and Kemba spending a lot of time together practicing, playing and hanging out for an extended period ahead of the start of the NBA season is great. Given last season’s reported chemistry problems and barring injury there is a lot of upside to the makeup of the US Team to my green tinted view.

I may come to regret these words, but I hope Tatum returns for the knockout rounds (and helps USA win gold). There's a risk of injury whenever a player takes the court, but this could be a fantastic bonding experience for Team Shamrock.
